Chapter 11: Chapter 11- Crimson Jackal

"Hey who do you think those people are?"..

"You idiot, don't you know who these people are? They are from the Zhang clan from the cloud city. The Zhang clan is one of the top clans of the city along with the Lin and Xiao clan".

"Right, the one leading them is Elder Yang Zhan"..

"What? Zhang clan?!! Why are they here?"..

"You idiot don't you know what happened at the Zhang clan manor? The whole city freaked out when the news came out. It is said that Elder Zhang Zhan's son was killed by a lowly servant who used to work at their manor".

"What?! Elder Zhang Zhan's son was killed? The nerves of the servant. However, why are they here in the Starfall jungle?"..

"It is because the servant that killed Elder Zhang Zhan's son, was spotted diving inside the jungle three days ago"..

Hushed noises and hubbub spread among all the hunters.

.

.

The old man leading a couple of members of the Zhang clan, paid no attention to the murmurs around him. His fierce eyes were glued to the forest in front of him.

"Did you get any news?" the old man asked furiously.

"Elder Zhang Zhan does not need to worry. We have investigated the hunters around here and they told us that they indeed saw a slave of that description, diving inside the Starfall jungle three days ago"

Whenever it swung its claws, the trunk of the trees around would have a foot deep claw marks engraved on them. From this one could easily guess how lethal the attacks of the crimson jackal was.

Even a veteran hunter would not dare to face it alone. However, the figure clashing with the crimson jackal was facing it all alone.

What's more, they were dodging the demonic beast's every attack with an agility that would make any hunter gape their mouth in shock. Not only that the figure also counter attacked at every opportunity they could find. Although their attacks were clumsy, they were nonetheless enough to get by.

Who could this thin figure with rag tag clothes be other than Yang Chen?

It has been three days since he had ventured inside the jungle. During these three days, he had bitterly practised burst step skill and had managed to raise it to the intermediate stage of completion.

Of course, it was not like he was able to train inside the jungle without being attacked by demonic beasts. In fact, many times during his training, many demonic beasts that were around or as strong as a Four Star Battle Apprentice pounced on him.

After being almost killed by the first demonic beast that he met, Yang Chen learned how dangerous the forest was. If not for the system rewarding him with additional mischief points for levelling up which allowed him to buy a healing pill from the store, he would have already died from his injuries by now.

After that near death encounter, Yang Chen started becoming more alert of his surroundings and learning about the jungle and its inhabitants.

Whoosh... the sound of wind rustling was heard, and a crimson figure pounced on him with a fierce speed.

Yang Chen swiftly activated the burst step and narrowly dodged the claws of the crimson jackal that came clawing at his chest. He activated the battle skill once again and appeared beside the demonic beast and plunged his sword inside the area where he had already made an injury on.

PSHH... blood sprayed out from that wound causing the demonic best to howl in agony and before long, it succumbed to its injury.
